Does the saving in weight compared to steel make any difference?

 

I have only ever used steel climbing spikes and never think that I wish they were lighter!

 

Can a kg or 2 affect peoples climbing that much or I am missing something else about them

[Arborlord]

They aint a kg lighter i wish. They are just as strong as steel but roughly 30% lighter and yes on a long job they do make a difference.

 

The velcro is comfty quick and easy to use.

 

I have them so i think there the best simples.

After changing my eating habits i am 7kgs ligher @ optium heigth/weight ratio.

The less weight you carry in any way the better!!

Thanks for the replies.

 

My main reasons for buying the Buckinghams is the twisted shank and the ability to connect the footplate add-ons, something you cant do with the Bashlin alloys I currently use.

Meh, those footplates have never struck my fancy. They seem awkward for any limb walking/whatnot.

Totally agree MB!!

 

They look awful!!

I'm sure they're excellent for lineman duty, kinda like these wackos.
